    How to "age" bright yellow cavalry hat cords?

    Doc is wanting to know how to age these cords so the cords appear well used and have a unique character. I do not believe that the hat will be yellow. Just thought the image may help. :) The color of the cords have meaning. Gold/Yellow: Cavalryman (Enlisted) Black and Gold: Cavalry Officer...

    How to "age" bright yellow cavalry hat cords?

    I would recommend taking the acorn with cords and getting them dirty in some mud, snow, grass, out near an outdoor fire and rub in the stains. Soak the cords in water and then throw them around outside in dirt. Once you feel you have nice bit of dirt built up, heat up your oven to about 170...

    Whats your favorite Hat for warm weather

    I have a hard time wearing shantung or toyo, not because they cause me any physical problems but because of how I came to own one. I went in search of a straw western, I was not a member here yet, sought the advice of an individual selling hats and ended up with a shantung western. Being the...

    The Trials and Tribulations of Hat Stiffener

    I went to my local western store and spoke with the gentleman that works in the hat room, he pulled out a one gallon jug of stiffener. The stiffener was by a company named M&F Western. He said the cost of the gallon was $80 plus shipping. I mentioned some other stiffener to him; he said that he...

    Proper hat maintenance for rookies...HELP!!

    Brush your hat in a counterclockwise direction, begin by using nice even sweeps. Do not apply to much pressure, you do not want to press or push the dust/dirt into the hat. If you plan to store a hat for sometime, you may want to have some cedar chips or another item that is going to...

    Could black go with anything? Why, or why not?

    I wear a black hat with any color. If another item in your attire has black wearing a black hat would accent or match that item(s). I have also been told that my complexion lends me the ability to wear a black hat with any color. I am not knowledgable about the whole complexion topic, but I...

    Favorite bash or crease

    It would appear there are multiple polls on one's favorite crease/bash.

    I am complete black hat fan. I wear a black hat more than any other. I have more than one black hat as well. I think nothing about the connotations tied to black hats. I like the look of them and wear them each chance I get.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    This 6X is doing well. This is my everyday hat and my work hat. It has been drenched, not on purpose but it is holding up nicely. I keep it brushed and presentable. I will admit i have some friends that work in a nearby western wear store, so getting help with it is not too difficult.

    Baseball Caps (in moderation)?

    I was in the Army for a bit and we had the beret as head gear. It was horrible, it is horrible, and it will continue to be horrible. The item offered no benefit at all. When standing in formation with the sun beaming bright the beret offered no assistance in blocking the sun out of the eyes...

    Best Straw hat maker for Western/ Cowboy styles?

    I like the cattleman styled hat on this page http://www.montecristihats.com/panama_w.htm , however, I do not like the shorter the brim. I am looking for something similar with a 4 inch brim. I am still on the hunt. I find most custom hatters work almost exclusively with felt. I have looked at...
